Vaughn: Are the using an open bucket revolving scoop at Camafuca?

I was wondering what the hardness of kimberlite is, compared to tar sands. I suspect it considerably harder, and thus would require a redesign of these scoops to account for it. Beyond a certain hardness, I would think these super scoops are not cost effective compared to traditional alternatives.
